If you do a grapple-mancer, would Leadership work as far as having a sidekick to tag in (or just jump in and take advantage of the flat-footed target)?

I wonder if I can get approval for one of these magic items from the Book of Hallowed Might II, because it just might get me to take the Craft Rod feat...[br][br] Keyed Spell Item: Basically gives you spontaneous spellcasting with a specific spell, allowing you to trade in prepared spells of equal o...

Woot! I designed a set for a wand-bow ( scorching ray , CL 3, 50 charges, 6000gp, attack action activation), and got approval from the DM. As I suspected, he wouldn't have allowed it if the CL was high enough for two rays per activation (not that I was even trying for that).[br][br]I'll look into ge...

I admit the bracer thing is weird, but as I said, it's approval was a fluke in my opinion and I'm not going to push my luck with it.[br][br]The magic weapon thing does work, as the spell has a duration of a minute, so the rest of the encounter will give the weapon the bonus to damage and go through ...

The bracer thing was just a little something I managed to squeak by the DM, approval-wise. I highly doubt that it'll see approval for any other spell combo.[br][br]I also made a use-activated item that casts magic weapon on your weapon, allowing you to spend an immediate action after hitting somethi...

Our DM banned anything from the Tome of the Nine Blades, as well as the Frenzied Beserker due to perceived balance concerns.[br][br]I talked to the barbarian, and it turns out that he does have Power Attack, he just hasn't used it yet. Our cleric is starting to use summon spells now. I'll probably t...

Fortunately, we were near a settlement with a druid that could cast reincarnate , and the DM has a house rule where you only lose the enough experience to be at the bottom of your current level...

Here's a question, aside from trying to figure out what spells to choose when I get to 5th level, how do I deal with these grapple monsters? I can't think of a reasonable manner in which to boost the barbarian to even compete with equal CR grapplers, barring polymorph for hydra cheese.[br][br]I was ...

I'll bring up the Sublime Chord with the bard next chance. Finding scrolls of hope won't work for now, because we haven't been in an area where they're available for purchase. [br][br]I got the cleric casting some of the summon spells (seems like the celestial dog is the best option for a good cleri...

Alright, here's the full party description...[br][br]Grey Elf Wizard 4 (Generalist): Has Craft Wondrous Item & Elf Dilettante. Tends to use Silent Image and Web (and Enlarge person on the barbarian), obtained a wand of magic missile recently (3rd level caster) but hadn't had a chance to use it y...
